i get some trouble when running fedora4520.kernel + vmware, the vmware-config.pl cannot compile vmmon module, the error messages is below, so how to solved it?, i google and found vmware patch - 116, it patch some vmmon module and it successfully compile vmware module like before.___________________________________________________________[root@fedorasal planet]# vmware-config.plMaking sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?[/usr/share/pixmaps]

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for yourrunning kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module foryour system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your runningkernel?[/lib/modules/2.6.24.5-85.fedora4520.fc8/build/include]

For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, pleasevisit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html" and"http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html".

IF you get message like this'*** WARNING: This kernel seems to use 4K stack size option (CONFIG_4KSTACKS); many Windows drivers will not work with this option enabled. Disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS option, recompile and install kernel' , you need to compile your own kernel or try using my own kernel in following post

Wirelessi use WPA2 encryption for home networking, so Network Manager can take care all of it, there might be some problem for first time connection, so to solved it, i just need to restart wpa_supplicant via terminal[root@localhost Atheros]# /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant restart

after i upgrade fedora 7 to 8 via yum, i try to compile a customization kernel to enable ndiswrapper in fedora 8. This kernel already disabled 4k stack and optimized for AMDK8 CPU , so ndiswrapper can run sucessfully in this kernel.
